PARADOX COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS



INSTALL

   1.  Can the installation be performed from drive B?

       Yes, simply move to drive B: and type "INSTALL".


   2.  Can I delete any of the files in  the  PARADOX3 directory,
       and what is the disk space required?

       It is not recommended that any files be  deleted  from the
       PARADOX3 directory placed  after installation.  You should
       have approximately 2 megabytes of  disk  space  to install
       Paradox 3.0 and its sample files.

   3.  +
       When I run the installation  program,  I  cannot  read the
       screen.

       The README file mentions  a  special  command  line switch
       used  to  specify  if  you   have   trouble   reading  the
       installation screen.  Type "INSTALL  -B&W"  or  "INSTALL -
       MONO".


   4.  What do I need to do to bring in data from  other versions
       of Paradox?

       Tables,   forms,  reports,  and  scripts  have  the   same
       structures from version to version.  You do, however, need
       to be aware of  differences  in  the menu selections which
       could affect existing scripts.  If you are going to move a
       report or form to a lower version, you need to be  sure no
       special features are included that are version specific.


   5.  The person who installed Paradox is no longer  with  us so
       we want to change the name on the splash screen.

       You will need to contact Borland Technical Support.


   6.  Paradox does not seem  to  recognize  my  expanded memory.
       How can I tell if the expanded memory is being accessed?

       Load Paradox by typing "PARADOX3" and pressing <Alt><F10>,
       <V>alue, and typing "MEMLEFT()".    The  amount  of memory
       remaining will be displayed  in  the  lower left corner of
       the screen.













       Load  Paradox  again  by  typing  "PARADOX3  -EMK  0"  and
       pressing <Alt><F10>, <Value>, and typing "MEMLEFT()".  The
       amount of  memory remaining will be displayed in the lower
       left corner of the screen.   (The parameter "-EMK 0" tells
       Paradox not to use expanded memory.)

       Compare the two values.    If  there  is a difference, the
       expanded memory  is  being  recognized.    Refer  to pages
       272-273  of  the  User's Guide for a  description  of  how
       expanded memory is utilized.


   7.  Just after installing Paradox 3.0,  why  can't  I  run the
       program?

       You must reboot the computer after  installing  Paradox so
       that  any  changes  made to the CONFIG.SYS file will be in
       effect when you start Paradox.


   8.  When I start Paradox 3.0, I get the splash screen  and the
       system stops there.  Why?

       If you  have  expanded  memory,  try  starting  Paradox by
       typing "PARADOX3  -EMK 0".  This will prevent Paradox from
       using  expanded  memory.   If Paradox runs,  you  have  an
       expanded memory conflict.    See the User's Guide for more
       information on resolving this conflict.


   9.  Why can't I use the sample tables?

       By default, the sample tables  are  placed  in  a separate
       subdirectory.  To access them,  use  the  <T>ools, <M>ore,
       <D>irectory command to change  your  working  directory to
       the directory in which the tables are located.


  10.  I am going through the examples in the User's Guide, but I
       cannot find the "ORDERS" table.

       If you did  not  work  through  ALL  the  examples  in the
       introduction booklet, play  the script "RECAP," which will
       create "ORDERS" and  update  the tables so they will match
       the examples in the User's Guide.
